Best Software for Residential Plumbing Companies (2026)
I co-founded QuoteIQ and use it to run my own pressure-cleaning business, so weigh my ranking with that in mind: QuoteIQ is still the one I'd put a residential plumbing company on in 2026. It starts at $29.99 a month, includes good-better-best options estimates, a price book, and consumer financing on every plan, and it quotes, texts, invoices, and takes payment from one phone. I haven't run a plumbing company, so everything about the other seven comes from each vendor's own published pages, with real prices and real tradeoffs.
TL;DR
QuoteIQ is my pick for small and midsize residential shops: from $29.99 a month, with options estimates, a price book, and financing on every plan.
Housecall Pro is the closest all-rounder for one-to-eight-truck shops, with flat-rate pricing starting on its $189 Essentials plan.
ServiceTitan is built for large multi-truck plumbing companies and sells by quote only.
Jobber is the easiest on-ramp for owner-operators, from $49 a month, with Wisetack financing.
Service Fusion charges flat monthly prices with unlimited users, starting at $245.
FieldEdge, Workiz, and FieldPulse don't publish prices, so get a number in writing before you sit through a demo.
How I Picked These
I picked these eight by asking what a residential plumbing company actually needs: a price book or flat-rate pricing, good-better-best proposals for repair-or-replace jobs, texting and online booking, deposits and financing, billing for maintenance plans, QuickBooks, and review requests. I co-founded QuoteIQ, so it sits at number one and I say so up front. I don't use the other seven day to day and I haven't run a plumbing company, so what I say about them comes from each vendor's published pricing page and plumbing page, checked in October 2026: Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, Jobber, Service Fusion, FieldEdge, Workiz, and FieldPulse. I use standard monthly pricing only, with no annual discounts, setup fees, or promotions, and where a vendor won't publish a number I say that instead of guessing. This list is for residential service shops, not commercial or new-construction contractors.

1. QuoteIQ — Best Overall for Residential Plumbing Companies
What it is
QuoteIQ is the field service software I co-founded and use for my own business. On its plumbing software page, the plumbing pieces that matter come on every plan: good-better-best options estimates, a price book, recurring invoices for maintenance plans, and consumer financing through Affirm, Klarna, and Afterpay. It also includes an AI receptionist called Virtual Call Team. QuoteIQ's rating is 4.7 from 4,103 reviews.
Pricing
Essentials is $29.99 a month for one user, Beginner is $99.99 for two, Pro is $199.99 for four, Elite is $299.99 for ten, and Max is $699.99 for twenty. Extra users are $25 a month. Every plan starts with a 14-day trial, the pricing page lists what each tier includes, and you can watch a demo here.
Where it fits
It fits a plumbing company that wants to quote repair-or-replace jobs with three options, text customers, take payment on the spot, and bill maintenance plans without a big back office. A one-to-ten-truck shop can start on Essentials or Beginner and move up as the fleet grows. Here is what one operator says about the quoting side:
"Drafting quotes, sending invoices, keeping track of clients, and the user friendly design make it a perfect tool for the job!" — Blake M. (Google Play review)
Tradeoffs
Route optimization, the live GPS team map, and inventory need Elite and above. QuickBooks sync, ClientHub, and on-the-way texts start at Pro, and inspection forms and QuoteIQ Cam start at Beginner, so the cheapest plan is lean. Extra users cost $25 a month. Financing runs through Affirm, Klarna, and Afterpay, not Wisetack. QuoteIQ has a price book you build yourself, but I can't point you to a ready-made plumbing flat-rate book. And I run a pressure-cleaning company, not a plumbing one, so I'm telling you what the software does, not how it holds up on a plumber's truck.
2. Housecall Pro — Best for Flat-Rate Pricing and a Big Feature List
What it is
Housecall Pro's plumbing page describes good-better-best options through its sales proposal tool, digital signatures, 24/7 online booking, customer financing, and automatic review requests. The same page cites a 4.7 Capterra rating from more than 2,700 reviews.
Pricing
The pricing page lists Basic at $79 for one user, Essentials at $189 for up to five, and Max at $329 for up to eight with $35 per extra user, with lower annual rates shown beside each. Flat-rate pricing is on Essentials and Max, the price book is on every plan, QuickBooks sync is on Essentials and Max, and recurring service plans are on Max. Card processing starts at 2.59%.
Where it fits
It fits a one-to-eight-truck shop that wants flat-rate pricing and a deep list of features, and it's the vendor I'd compare QuoteIQ against first. I wrote up that matchup in Housecall Pro vs QuoteIQ.
Tradeoffs
Flat-rate pricing skips the Basic plan, and maintenance plans wait for Max. Extra users on Max add $35 each. Its plumbing page lists different, higher prices than its pricing page, so get your number in writing before you sign.
3. ServiceTitan — Best for Large Multi-Truck Plumbing Shops
What it is
ServiceTitan is the enterprise-scale option, and it says more than 100,000 plumbing, HVAC, and electrical pros use it. Its pricebook and customizable memberships come in every plan, and its estimating page describes good-better-best proposals with financing built in.
Pricing
ServiceTitan's pricing page shows no dollar figures. The plans are Starter, Essentials, and The Works, priced per technician, and you get your number from a sales call.
Where it fits
It fits a large, multi-truck residential company with dispatchers and office staff who will use the platform every day, and a budget to match.
Tradeoffs
There's no published price, the cost grows with every technician you add, and it's likely more platform than a two-truck shop needs.
4. Jobber — Best for Owner-Operators and Small Crews
What it is
Jobber covers quoting, scheduling, invoicing, and payments. Its plumbing page lists good-better-best quotes with optional line items, a client hub, progress invoicing, Wisetack financing, job costing, automatic Google review requests, and an AI receptionist.
Pricing
On the pricing page, Core is $49 a month for one user. Connect is $139 for one user or $199 for five. Grow is $199 for one or $299 for five, and Plus is $499 for five. Extra users are $29 each. Card payments run 2.9% plus 30 cents, ACH is 1%, and QuickBooks sync starts at Connect.
Where it fits
It fits owner-operators and small crews who want quick good-better-best quotes and Wisetack financing without a long rollout.
Tradeoffs
Core is one user with no QuickBooks sync, so most growing shops land on Connect or Grow. Extra users cost $29 each, and its plumbing page doesn't mention a flat-rate pricebook.
5. Service Fusion — Best for Flat Pricing With Unlimited Users
What it is
Service Fusion's plumbing page covers drag-and-drop dispatch, estimates with options and e-signature, a Stripe M2 card reader, two-way QuickBooks sync, and an online booking portal.
Pricing
The pricing page lists Starter at $245, Plus at $382, and Pro at $627 a month with unlimited users, and annual billing is about 15% lower. QuickBooks is included. Recurring billing is an add-on on Starter and Plus and is included on Pro.
Where it fits
It fits growing crews where per-user pricing at other vendors would climb fast. The flat, unlimited-user model is its main argument.
Tradeoffs
It has the highest published entry price on this list, no free trial is listed (you start with a demo), and its plumbing page links out for flat-rate pricing and financing rather than describing them.
6. FieldEdge — Best for Pricebook-Driven Service Agreements
What it is
FieldEdge's plumbing page describes a dispatch board with GPS, Proposal Pro for good-better-best options, flat-rate pricing tools, and FieldEdge Payments.
Pricing
The pricing page names the plans Select, Premier, and Elite, with 2, 4, or 6 mobile licenses, and shows no dollar figures, so you ask for a quote or demo. Pricebook, flat-rate pricing, and QuickBooks Online and Desktop come on every plan. Service agreements are basic on Select and advanced on Premier and Elite.
Where it fits
It fits an established shop that wants pricebook, flat-rate pricing, and service agreements built into the system and doesn't mind a sales process.
Tradeoffs
There's no published price, the page says there's no free trial, memberships are annual, and its plumbing page doesn't mention financing.
7. Workiz — Best for Phone-Heavy Shops Adding AI Answering
What it is
Workiz's plumbing page lists good-better-best sales proposals, Genius AI Answering for missed calls, financing through Sunbit and Wisetack, and service plans. It's aimed at teams of two or more.
Pricing
The pricing page shows Standard, Pro, and Ultimate by quote only. The price book and QuickBooks come on every plan, and estimates are unlimited. Flat-rate pricing and service plans are on Ultimate only. The trial is 7 days.
Where it fits
It fits phone-driven shops that want AI call answering and a choice of financing partners in one place.
Tradeoffs
Pricing is quote-only, flat-rate pricing and service plans are Ultimate-only, and the trial is the shortest on this list.
8. FieldPulse — Best for Quote-Driven Mid-Size Teams
What it is
FieldPulse's plumbing page lists a pricebook, maintenance agreements, QuickBooks integration, and FieldPulse Payments. It also has a plumbing dispatch page.
Pricing
The pricing page is seat-based and says "Get a Custom Quote." I couldn't confirm plan tiers, prices, or a trial.
Where it fits
It fits mid-size teams that already know they want a pricebook and maintenance agreements and will take a demo to get pricing.
Tradeoffs
There's nothing public on price or a trial, and its plumbing page doesn't describe options-based estimates, which matter when you sell repair-or-replace jobs.
What Operators Say
Here are two more QuoteIQ users in their own words. None of the three reviewers on this page is tagged as a plumber in the review database I pulled them from, so read them as feedback on quoting, invoicing, and support, not on plumbing work.
"Quote IQ has revolutionized my business, it makes giving quotes to my clients 100x easier than before." — Nathaniel H. Reynolds (App Store review)
"The customer support is excellent, and the app has made running my business so much smoother." — Lavina Mirza Noerani (App Store review)
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best software for residential plumbing companies in 2026?
For a small to midsize residential plumbing company, I'd start with QuoteIQ, which I co-founded, because it puts good-better-best options estimates, a price book, and financing on every plan from $29.99 a month. Housecall Pro is the closest all-rounder, ServiceTitan suits large multi-truck companies, and Jobber is the easiest on-ramp for a one-truck owner. Whatever you choose, test it on your own price book and a real estimate before you switch customers over. The market is crowded: IBISWorld estimates about 129,000 US plumbing businesses and $208.1 billion in 2026 revenue. For more comparisons, see my best plumbing CRM roundup.
How much does plumbing company software cost per month?
Published monthly prices run from $29.99 to $699.99. QuoteIQ starts at $29.99 for one user and tops out at $699.99 for twenty. Jobber starts at $49, Housecall Pro lists $79, $189, and $329, and Service Fusion charges $245, $382, or $627 with unlimited users. ServiceTitan, FieldEdge, Workiz, and FieldPulse don't publish prices, so you need a quote. Compare what each tier includes, not just the headline number, because features like QuickBooks and flat-rate pricing move between plans. Watch the per-user math as you grow: QuoteIQ adds $25 per extra user, Jobber $29, and Housecall Pro's Max plan $35. My roundup of plumbing software for small businesses goes deeper on small-shop pricing.
What is the best plumbing software for a one-truck operation?
For one truck, the cheapest entries are QuoteIQ Essentials at $29.99, Jobber Core at $49, and Housecall Pro Basic at $79, all for a single user. Check what you give up at the bottom tier: Housecall Pro's Basic plan has no flat-rate pricing, and Jobber's Core plan has no QuickBooks sync. Also check whether the one-user price includes online payments and texting, since a solo plumber uses both daily. Plan for your second technician too. The Bureau of Labor Statistics counted 510,600 plumbers, pipefitters, and steamfitters in 2025 and projects 7% growth through 2035, and once you add a second tech, per-user fees start to matter.
Do plumbing companies need flat-rate pricing software?
Not always, but most residential shops that quote repairs on the spot benefit from a price book, so every tech charges the same for the same job. A price book is on every QuoteIQ, Housecall Pro, Workiz, and FieldEdge plan, and ServiceTitan includes a pricebook in all plans. Dedicated flat-rate pricing is on Housecall Pro Essentials and Max, Workiz Ultimate, and every FieldEdge plan. QuoteIQ's price book is one you build yourself. I'd also check how each tool handles after-hours and emergency rates, since those are the jobs where inconsistent pricing costs the most. My guide to flat-rate pricing software for plumbers covers the tradeoffs.
Can plumbing software handle good-better-best estimates for water heater replacements?
Yes. QuoteIQ includes options estimates on every plan, Housecall Pro uses its sales proposal tool, Jobber offers good-better-best quotes with optional line items, FieldEdge uses Proposal Pro, ServiceTitan includes good-better-best proposals with financing, and Workiz offers good-better-best sales proposals. Water heaters suit tiers well because, per the U.S. Department of Energy, water heating accounts for about 18% of a home's energy use, so an efficient upgrade is a real option to weigh against a like-for-like swap. Whichever tool you pick, build the three tiers once in the price book so every tech presents the same options. I compare quoting tools in my plumbing estimating software guide.
How do I sell and bill plumbing maintenance plans in software?
Look for recurring invoices or memberships, plus reminders. QuoteIQ handles recurring invoices and subscriptions for maintenance plans, ServiceTitan includes customizable memberships in all plans, and FieldEdge includes basic service agreements on Select and advanced ones on Premier and Elite. Housecall Pro limits recurring service plans to Max, Workiz to Ultimate, and Service Fusion treats recurring billing as an add-on until Pro. A yearly inspection plan has an easy talking point: the EPA says household leaks can waste more than 9,300 gallons of water a year, and that fixing easily corrected leaks can save about 10% on water bills.
Does plumbing software offer a free trial?
Most do, but the lengths differ. QuoteIQ gives you a 14-day trial, and a credit or debit card is required to start. Housecall Pro and Jobber each list a 14-day trial, and Workiz lists 7 days. FieldEdge says it has no free trial, and Service Fusion points you to a demo rather than a trial. ServiceTitan and FieldPulse send you to a sales conversation. Use any trial to build your real price book, send yourself a good-better-best estimate, and test a payment before you move customers over. That quick test tells you more than any feature list. You can also watch a QuoteIQ demo first if you'd rather see it than click through it.
Does plumbing software work with QuickBooks?
Yes, but the plan matters. QuoteIQ syncs QuickBooks from Pro, Jobber from Connect, and Housecall Pro on Essentials and Max. QuickBooks comes with every Service Fusion plan, every FieldEdge plan (Online and Desktop), and every Workiz plan, and FieldPulse lists a QuickBooks integration. Service Fusion's plumbing page describes a two-way sync, which is worth asking every vendor about: confirm whether invoices, payments, and customers all move both ways. Pick the plan that includes it before you commit, because a cheaper tier that leaves you re-keying invoices can cost more in office time than it saves on the subscription.
Bottom Line
If you run a residential plumbing company and want one app that quotes in good-better-best options, texts customers, takes payment, and bills maintenance plans, QuoteIQ is where I'd start, and I'm saying so as its co-founder. Housecall Pro is the closest alternative, ServiceTitan is the large-fleet option, and Jobber is the simplest start. Ask the quote-only vendors for a number in writing and run any trial on your real price book before you pick. You can see a QuoteIQ demo here.
